This is the original builders photo taken in 1931 when the engine was ready for delivery. It was obtained from the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Delaware. This museum has many of the original builders photos from the Vulcan Iron Works of Wilkes Barre, PA.
The engine was purchased from Vulcan Iron Works by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company at Hazlenton, PA. In 1954 the engine was sold to the Heidelberg Coal Company at Avoca, PA. We have no knowledge of how it was used when it belonged to them. We assume that it was used for switching coal cars in preparation for shipment. The engine was then sold to John Bauman, a scrap dealer, in Carbondale PA. It was stored in the D & H roundhouse at Carbondale until we purchased it in the fall of 1993.
This is #126 in the D & H Roundhouse in Carbondale as we found it in October, 1993.
